ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To obtain the exposure-response functions that could be used in health-based risk assessment of particulate air pollution in China.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Meta analysis was conducted on the literatures on air particulate matter and its adverse health outcomes in China and worldwide.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>For each health outcome from morbidity to mortality changes, the relative risks were estimated when the concentration of air particulate matter increased to some certain units.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The exposure-response functions recommended here can be further applied to health risk assessment of air particulate matter in China.</p>
